Santro is better in all other aspects namely:
1.Power steering (Just so so)
2 power front windows (Not a real need)
3.better braking ( slightly better than mehran)
4.Comfort ( at least on front seats) ( I guess both cars have the same comfort of seating, santro me just itna difference lagta k banda thora uper betha hai )
5.better AC (Efi mehran AC works better too)
spcious interior ( disagree )
better engine ( agree but Efi mehran works fine too)
8 smooth drive ( slightly, but its old car itna b maza nahi)
9 tough suspension and overall ( Not done suspension test on santro)
Pros for Buying a Mehran
1. relatively Much newer and less abused. (Agreed)
2. Had been produced for 3 decades, left over units are still being sold. (LOL, and true)
3. No need to scavenge for parts everything is available brand new and will be for atleast 20 years from now like the FX. ( True if maintain properly, and you are aiming ofr 10 years, thats a long time bro, you will feel under 5years for an update, trust me)
3. every mechanic knows how to fix them. very easy to repair. (It was the case with carby mehran, I have seen many ustaad messing up with EFi mehran, so only get ustad who understand EFi mehran)
4. maintenance is dirt cheap and the car is damn reliable. ( In some cases Yes and in some cases No )
5. in the newer models AC also works good. (True)
6. perfect for city driving. (True)
7. better fuel consumption. ( True)
8. better resale value. (True)
9. can be maintained with the dealership. (optional, but recommend if find any reliable ustaad in any workshop. to save money)
A bit ancient on the design side but rather easy to keep in our country. santro on the other hand was produced for a few years by dewan, there is no proper supply of parts, maintenance is expensive. mechanics dont know the car properly. and now after almost a decade of its production coming to an end majority of the vehicle are abused.
(100% true)
